The problem

What gets in the way today.

When someone needs help or wants to report a concern, finding the right authority is confusing, especially for visitors. Phone lines and apps demand prior knowledge, downloads or long waits, so minor issues go unreported and cities lose real-time visibility of what is happening on the street.

Dedicated help points are expensive to install and maintain, so they are few and far between, while every lamppost, sign and noticeboard already stands exactly where people need support.

The solution

How Omnie Vox changes it.

VOX APP turns any lamppost, sign or noticeboard into a trusted safety point with a printed QR code. Anyone can scan, tap once and report a concern, ask for help or find nearby services, in their own language, with no download and no account.

VOX NET captures every report and conversation in real time, routes urgent issues to the right team, and gives city and event operators live analytics on incidents, hotspots and response.

More applications

Where else Omnie Vox works.

VOX APP

On the poster, the notice and the pop-up stand. A reporting point wherever you can print.

A community safety QR from Omnie Vox turns a poster into a reporting point. Scan the code on a temporary safety notice, a match-day poster or a pop-up stand, say what is happening in your own language, and be heard by an assistant that signposts the right help and routes the report to the right team through Vox Net.

No hardware, so it can go up for a festival, a night-time economy campaign or a road closure and come down afterwards. Sensitive issues are signposted discreetly; a calm, patient voice suits people who would find a phone call hard. Free to start and live in minutes.

In practice

A council safety team prints a QR code onto the match-day safety posters around the stadium approach and onto the pop-up stand outside the station. During the evening a supporter reports a broken streetlight, a visitor asks in Spanish where the nearest safe space is, and a young woman who does not want to make a call scans the poster, says quietly that she is being followed, and is signposted to the taxi marshal while the safety team is alerted.

For every visitor

Multilingual, accessible and neurodiversity-friendly.

Compliance

Support for the standards and duties that shape accessible spaces.

Spoken, multilingual signage is a practical, documentable way to meet accessibility obligations, with Vox Net recording every interaction as evidence.

Legislation

Equality Act 2010

Requires service providers to make reasonable adjustments, in advance, so disabled people are not substantially disadvantaged. Voice-first signage is a documentable adjustment for visually impaired, dyslexic, neurodivergent and non-English-speaking visitors.

Standard

BS 8300:2018

The British Standard for accessible built environments asks for wayfinding information in more than one format, including audible. Spoken signage complements the tactile, Braille and high-contrast signs the standard already recommends.

Public sector

Public Sector Equality Duty

Section 149 of the Equality Act requires the NHS, universities, councils and transport authorities to actively advance equality and evidence it. Vox Net analytics give equality impact assessments and annual reports a measurable intervention to cite.

NHS

Accessible Information Standard

Mandatory for NHS and adult social care providers in England (DCB 1605), and monitored by the CQC. Requires information in formats people can understand, including audible and other-language formats. Omnie Vox meets this at scale, with an audit trail.

Building Regulations

Approved Document M

Part M of the Building Regulations requires reasonable provision for everyone to access and use a building, citing BS 8300 as its technical reference. Specifying Omnie Vox at design stage puts audible wayfinding in the inclusive-design package before sign-off.

Web

WCAG 2.2 AA & accessibility regulations

Vox App and the Vox Net control panel are keyboard operable, screen-reader friendly and high contrast, meeting the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 and ready for the European Accessibility Act.

FAQ

Community Safety: common questions

Where do reports go?

Reports are routed through Vox Net to the team you specify, with the poster’s location attached, and sensitive issues are signposted to the appropriate service.

Is it suitable for permanent reporting points?

For a permanent, visible, phone-free point on the street, the Vox Post is the right product; see the Vox POS page for community safety.

Can the same code be reused for the next event?

Yes. Update the assistant in Vox Net; the printed code stays valid.
